TEACHING PHILOSOPHY
Seeing students “get it” is what I enjoy most about education. When students are able to restore or repair a vehicle after learning in the classroom and lab, I feel a sense of pride. I feel the most enjoyment when a student is able to perform beyond what I have taught them. I believe the ultimate goal of any educator is to help develop a student into a lifelong learner.

TEACHING PHILOSOPHY
“In Auto Restoration, we spend a lot of time working on the objects and learning the processes. As a teacher, I try to help my students realize it’s the people that make what we do so important. Whether it’s us studying antique automobiles or the current caretakers of them or others we meet along the way…. it’s all about the people.”

Professor Goodwin’s work experience includes line technician, service manager, and owner/operator of his own garage business for several years. In addition, he served for 19 years as an automotive instructor at Northwest Kansas Technical College in Goodland, teaching in the areas of transmissions, differentials and drivelines, engine repair, automotive heating and air-conditioning, and hybrid systems.

TEACHING PHILOSOPHY
“My interest in cars and all things mechanical is something I cannot explain; it has always come to me naturally. It was not until I sat in a classroom filled with other like-minded young students, learning about the finer points of the automobile, that I felt at home in an educational environment and my desire to learn more was fueled. As a teacher, my hope is that my students find comfort that they are in a place with like-minded curious people and I can provide spark and fuel for their passion and careers. I get fuel from their success – their success is my success.”
